Disappearing Cookies

BarTopDancer · 03-25-2009, 10:40 AM

I have the oddest issue happening and I have no idea what happened and I can't fix it.

A few days ago all the websites I go to started logging themselves out whenever I close my browser (FireFox). I haven't changed any settings, there haven't been any updates to FF (that I recall) and I double checked, nothing is selected under the internet settings to say automatically log out.

It's getting annoying.

Any suggestions on what else to check?

I have not been stealing your Girl Scout Cookies

I seriously thought this was going to be the place where I was forced to confess that I ate an entire packet of Thin Mints last night.

*sigh* First off I'm sorry you have to deal with this type of response when you are just looking for a little help.

Have you checked the cookie settings under FireFox? There is an option to only save cookies for the current session. Check out this tutorial for more info.

1) It could be that your cookies got corrupted. You may have to clear all your cookies and start again.

2) I also expected to open this thread and find, "All of my girl scout cookies are gone. How could this have happened?"

Eh, they don't bother me unless that is what the entire thread derails to

My cookie setting has been and are still set to "keep until they expire".

The only thing I can think of that is different is that I recently removed Flock from my computer. Now that I think about it, I think it may have happened right after I removed it. I wonder if Flock removed a file that I needed.

GD - I already deleted all the cookies, also ran Ad Aware and AVG to make sure nothing fishy was installed.

And I still have some girl scout cookies left, and more coming over MA weekend!

You're only mad because you didn't get to say it first
